[2245] App. B. C. i. 9. 37 and 11. 46 states that an additional two hundred and fifty iugera were allowed for each son, and Livy, ep. lviii, sets the maximum at a thousand iugera. Combining the two sources, we reach the probable result given in the text; cf. also (Aurel. Vict.) Vir. Ill. 64. 3; Siculus Flacc. p. 136. 10 (CC is a corruption of ↀ). See Herzog, Röm. Staatsverf. i. 450, n. 3; Greenidge, Hist. of Rome, i. 114; Mommsen, in CIL. i. p. 87.

[2247] App. B. C. i. 11. 46. It is not stated that these lots should become private property. Appian mentions this article as the only compensation for improvements on the lands surrendered. The fact that article 2 was withdrawn from the bill before it became a law may account for its omission from this source.

[2249] CIL. i. 200. 14: “Sei quis ... agri iugra non amplius xxx possidebit habebitve.” In all probability this specification came originally from the Sempronian law.

[2251] This is a necessary deduction from a speech of Tiberius quoted by App. B. C. i. 9. 35; cf. 11. 43; Plut. Ti. Gracch. 9. The Lex Agr. of 111 (CIL. i. 200. 21) refers to assignments made by C. Gracchus to Latins and allies as compensation for public lands surrendered by them to the government for colonial purposes; cf. § 31. Doubtless a similar provision was included in the statute of Tiberius. Although viritim assignments had hitherto benefited citizens only, Latins and Italians had been admitted to Latin colonies founded by Rome; Meyer, Gesch. d. Gracch. 91.
[2252] Cf. Lex Agr. in CIL. i. 200. 6: “Extra eum agrum, qui ager ex lege plebive scito, quod C. Sempronius Ti. f. tr(ibunus) pl(ebei) rog(avit), exceptum cavitumque est nei divideretur.” The exceptions numbered from a to g in the text above are taken from the agrarian law of 111. As these exceptions were made in the agrarian law of C. Gracchus, it is here assumed that they were made previously by Tiberius.
